What is an Avatar?
[Source: Avatar - An Activist Survival Guide]
Avatar… dreamwalker body characterised by smooth blue iridescent skin, proportionately small skull, high cheekbones, feline ears and a protruding snout. Bioluminescant markings are for identification and mood display.
Many visitors to the post @ Free Web Design have left links to their own Avatar creations in the comments, all featuring fantastic blue skin. I’m going to leave mine!
Once you create your masterpiece, I suggest you paste your link in the coments at the bottom of this post as well.
- A good source of traffic for anyone interested in seeing you in your Avatar skin.
Here’s some examples so far – starting with the creation that is the feature of the tutorial.
Avatar Blog – The Mother of Everything Avatar
If you are an Avatar fan you have to check out the official Avatar blog over at TypePad.
You will find the latest news (heard there’s going to be a trilogy?!), videos and images and so much that is great you need to experience it to believe it. Want to learn the Na’vi language - no kidding you can visit a site to learn it!
Some of my favourite images that I use for desktops were found via links at the Avatar blog. The following images are smaller samples. Visit the blog to explore.

Avatar Thesis Skin
Idea: If anybody wants to design an Avatar Thesis Skin I’ll be interested in promoting it along with this post and adding it to anywhere else I refer to Thesis Skins.
My photoshop skills are very basic (self taught bad habits) otherwise I’d do it myself.

Avatar: Movie Phenomenon filled with Subtle Messages
The Na’vi of Pandora are a peaceful people. They believe all life is sacred and should be honoured. This includes paying respect to the plants and animals that are harvested or killed to provide sustenance. Does this remind you of something?

Come back and leave a link to your creation when it’s done.
Nice post with a good article on this post. It is really nice sharing. I am very glad to read this nice article. Keep it up…..
Excellent piece.
The spin-off products of Avatar are starting to make headway. If James Cameron decides to make another film he will already have a loyal following that should rival Star Wars’.
Keep up the good work.

Wow. I just read your review on Avatar and left a comment. I will have to add your blog to my list of movie related worthwhile reading blogs. Thanks for stopping by and joining in on the conversation.
Thank you for your generous praise, Somone. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Very nice blog. I really enjoyed this article and movie both. It was very exciting.
This tutorial is just awesome! I know my little cousins will die for this! They are going to absolutely love me when I do this to their pictures. I love it when designers makes life easy for us wannabe-designers! I can play around a bit in the graphics packages, but the advanced stuff I leave to the artists. At least I can occasionally do something spectacular via the help of a decent tutorial or two.
I’d love you to post a link to your end result. I still have to do this for my sons.
Very awesome of you to share these – thanks! :)
Fantastic article with some great pictures. I really enjoyed this article.

That is pretty dang cool, I still haven’t seen Avatar(I know I think I’m the only one who hasn’t). I think if you put that up as your fb profile pic or something everyone would be asking you how you did that. Very cool!
WOW!
That guide looks so amazing!
I’m not sure that I’ll be able to do that miracles with my own help buy I’ll try!

It’s amazing how the production prepared for the Avatar Movie. The appearances of the characters were made so real in the movie. For experienced people using photoshop, it would be easy though.
I really loved the movie and for sure i will love playing in photoshop and making my face like an avatar :P
I agree with you. Certainly, it would be easy for people who have a great expertise in using the software, Photoshop. I wonder what other technology we might be using after couple of years now to produce more outstanding movies!
yeeeh! great lesson. now im make my self to Navi, haha. thanks for post! ;)
I like this video very much. I have some knowledge of Photoshop but I can’t use this as you shown in this video. A very deep use of Photoshop. Now I learn more about Photoshop. Thanks for encourage me.
Photoshop is pretty cool. Now, somebody can make an image without making a dummy first. You can do anything right away, without starting everything in a much tedious way.
wow, that looks really good. I’m blown away.
I think there is a superb use of Photoshop. I don’t know that Photoshop is so useful. Thanks to share this information about Photoshop.
